Henry “Hank” Aaron is the all-time home run leader. 

longevity was Hank’s greatest skill. great player but Bonds was better.

Bonds definitely had more talent. Unfortunately he tainted that by juicing. Wouldn’t have broken the HR record without the juice, but he didn’t need to take anything to enhance his raw talent. A wise man once said, “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.” - Robert DeNiro - A Bronx Tale

He didn't taint anything.  People need to get over the steroid era already.  He wasn't doing anything different that anybody else was or wasn't doing.  There is no way to know for certain he wouldn't have broke the HR record.  He could've played another season or two and done it anyway.  Everyone focuses only the 73 HR year, never the other 21 seasons where he rarely ever hit more than 45.  Everyone wants to take some moral high road now looking back in hindsight like "juice" was the worst and only bad thing to ever happen to baseball.

^ No moral high ground here; however, when we’re talking about one of the greatest records in modern sport, I’m in the camp that an asterisk must be put next to Bonds’ name.  You’re in the other camp, which is all good. No one is right or wrong here. And I stand by my belief that without juice he doesn’t break the record.

Steroids or not, he's a garbage person and it's quite humorous to see his biggest fan here rip Tiger all the time over his character.

It is ironic, isn’t it?

meet me in the baseball thread and tell me why Bonds is a “garbage person.” I’ll spot you steroids and churlishness with the media (which is really not something you should care about). go ahead, lay out all his garbageness.

If we're going to turn this into a baseball thread let's at least mention Vlad Guerrero. Dude had a hell of a golf swing.

First day of physical therapy for the neck and shoulder.  Still plan to golf in South Carolina on my trip next week.  May have to leave the driver in the bag.  Will take it easy and just enjoy being out there.  Hit a lot of short irons.

Play with a 7 iron only. You’d be surprised at how well you can play with that one club.

That sounds like a fun idea to experiment with.  

I have an excuse now to pick it out of the sand and heavy rough!

Why don’t you tell us why Tiger is a garbage person first?

I actually did it once. Played an entire round with nothing but a 7 iron. It was a lot of fun and brings out the creative side of the game for sure. Surprisingly, played pretty well too.

overturned, “allegations”, and tiger’s dealings with dr. gallea could raise some suspicions too.

and, steroid use is not “confirmed” but i’ll accept it.

Dude that is some weak shit right here. 

Bonds has been divorced more times than Tiger. Only difference was Tiger's stuff was played out in the media. So one guy gets a pass because he was able to keep his personal life out of the public eye? I just can't believe the fact that someone cheated on his wife makes you this upset. Half of all marriages end in divorce....

And tipping? This is it? I was expecting a lot more cynical reasons for all your festering hatred towards the guy all these years. Poor tipping and cheating on his wife is all there is though. So, basically, you hate most people on this planet.
